The events listed have been reported in the public domain or to cruisejunkie by passengers or crew members onboard.  The list is by no means comprehensive.  For that reason it is necessary to be cautious in drawing conclusions from the potentially limited data.  Keep in mind that some companies may be more transparent than others about things that go wrong; conversely, some companies may be better at concealing events and thereby project an appearance that is inaccurate.  With that said, the following list is still interesting, as are the patterns seen viewed separately by ship.

Incident
29.1.07
The ship is expected to return to Galveston several hours late (at 1PM) from a four day cruise (25 - 29 January) to/from Cozumel.  After leaving Cozumel Saturday, it returned early Sunday monring to offload a seriously ill passenger.  Passengers were told at 10AM that the ship's return to Galveston would be delayed and were permitted free use of telephones and internet in order to notify folks and/or to change travel arrangements.
Late arrival - Medical emergency
23.8.04
A woman is suing the company, alleging she was attacked and raped by a senior worker and the cruise line did nothing about it.  The incident happened on the night of December 18, 2002 -- she had only been on the ship for 1.5 days.  RCI says  it reported her claim to authorities and the incident "appeared to be a consensual relationship on the night of the alleged incident."
